“How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation,
who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.'”
– Isaiah 52:7
Many of us are naturally shy and fearful about sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. We fear we’ll mess it up. We fear we’ll be rejected. We fear that our mistakes and shortcomings make us hopeless hypocrites.
This verse describes how we really are when we live the command to share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. We are beautiful. We are beautiful messengers of hope and good news. We are beautiful sharers of peace and happiness. We make public the beautiful salvation and redemption available through faith in Jesus Christ.
Sharing Christ is beautiful and we are made beautiful by the act of grace that is sharing Christ! Don’t let fear keep you from the beautiful work to which we are called.
